Lisa, Susan,

Just thought I would mention something that popped into my mind. I knew that Bill would be very tired during the last few weeks of treatment and maybe beyond and so, when Bill became terribly sleepy and exhausted around the end of week 5, I just thought OK...this is what I have been reading about. That evening, while feeding him thru his PEG, I touched his belly and realized he was running a fever. Oops and it was way above the 101 threshold that the MO's office had told us was a reason to call! I felt terrible that I had not caught it earlier that day.

Long story short, he was hospitalized with neutropenia and an infection that was very dangerous for him. So...just be aware of taking or monitoring hubbie's temp especially when they seem very sleepy or out of it.
